Many Citizens" Inquire of the Street

when regatta will take place on Put

session of all the facts in the case, we
venture to answer; if at all, sail must be
hoisted at an early day. Entries must be

all except the wearers of shoes with
French heels-these draw too much
water.
But this is a serious question. and de-
serves serious answer. MANY Citi-
zens' should know that under our pres

tied, and the fund available for street
Improvement is already exhausted. The
Street Committee has done good work
not one word of Just criticism can he
uttered when we consider the means at

But, as many citizens" can easily
realize that much more remains to be
done, let them use every influence they
possess to insure in the new charter ade-
quate provision for the needs of the
future. Under this, as given us by the
next Legislature, Palatka must live and
grow for many years. Do not throw

The Next Crop Of Oranges.

ftfffdn1iua SitfrOr-
So far as we can learn. the prospect
for the coming orange crop is not very
good. We hear from many localities
that the trees have blossomed sparsely.
and in many localities the crop will be
less than an average. But it is also said
that the new growth upon the trees is
very heavy and gives good promise for
the future. Much fruit the past season
did not mature and became pithy before
reaching full ST age of ripeness. We be
heve, however, that the entire crop will
be somewhat larger than last year, and
il is likely that it will be of better quail
ity- Many of the Younger trees the past
season which We're stripped of their
leaves by the freeze of January, 1886,
put on a heavy crop of fruit and also
leaved anew, but there was not sufficient
support in the trees for a new growth of
leaves and of fruit at the SAINT time, and
hence neither were perfected The heavy
new growth this spring promises To put
these in excellent order for another sea-
son, while the older trees will bear the
fruit crop of the present year.

Many interesting war "reminiscences are
rehearsed by visitors to the panorama OF
the battle Of Bull Run in this city. Two
veterans were discussing war matters
there this morning, when one said: Il

Mr.. Lincoln said: General, I don't want

Grants eye as he turned and replied: If

Farming. West and South.
Ocala Banner

An impression prevails that farming
paws better elsewhere than here. That
il paws better in the West than in the
South, but, unless figures lie. this does
not seem To be the case. The Chicago
Express SAYS that farms in Kansas are
mortgaged to an average of $40 Per acre.
In Indiana To the amount of 81 per
acre. That paper says that this average
will hold good throughout all the North
ern and Western States Ii goes on to
say further that the steady decline in
prices of farm products. especially IN the
West, makes payment impossible and
that the Western farmer is very sick
man. His life is fast ebbing away Our
advice is To come To Florida and add to
his farm, bearing groves and fruitful
gardens

New style OF Entertainments.

A new style Of entertainment has found
a great deal Of favor In Chicago, and I see
no reason why it should not become
equally popular here IL Is called PRO
gressive lunch" and Is conducted on the
principle OF progressive eucher. A num-
Der of srsall tables are provided, at which
four are seated At the end Of each course
lots are drawn, and two go from one table
to the next, thus bringing about a con-
tinual change Of partners, and allowing
each person to see something of every one
present. This seems to me TO be very
convenient, Us by the ordinary arrange
ment one can talk with only three or four
people. The Chicago people are very
quick to adopt any new ideas, and this
has become quite the rage, but the move
ment recently set on foot in that city to
apply the principle to matrimony can
hardly meet with unqualified approval,
however convenient il might prove in in
dividual instances. Democrat

LONELINESS OF THE CAR.

Not . Man In the World More Deeply
to be Pttied-Ths NIhiIists.
There is not a man in the world more
deeply to be pitied than the present
emperor Of Russia The loneliness OF
kings, a loneliness naturally resulting
from their place, which hardly admits of
friendship, and does not admit OF equality,
is always terrible, and is frequently fel,
by themselves severely that they break
through all restraints OF prudence and
moral law in order to be rid Of it. Rather
than not have friends, people before whom
they can disrobe their minds and sit in
mental slippers, they will give all power
To favorites, OF to women who could be
bought without any such sacrifices of
their states or their subjects. The loneli-
hess OF q car as absolute as a Caesar and
as swiftly obeyed, SO far above his sub
jects that Count Tolstoi. in the admirable
stOes of historic sketches which he calls
'.War and Peace" and issues as a novel,
describes mobiles as fainting with agitation
at the sight Of him, must be almost shock
ing He is SO utterly master, he can so
completely and instantly make and I'M
make. the hostile exertion Of his will. if
he exerted il would be SO deadly in its
force that he can have no true equal, or
friend, or easy companion
He may, like Alexander III, try to be
bonn camderne, OF, like many czars sur
round himself with mistresses; but the
distance remains always too great for true
friendship, or for any perfect alienation
from society OF the troubles Of the mind,
any tightening of that burden of empire
which, when his word is always final, SO
presses on the conscience even Of evil
kings. II Is scarcely possible to be wholly
disinterested with a car il only for the
terrible powers his mere friendship places
in your hands, scarcely possible, either
for the car not to perceive or to suspect
in every sentence uttered some concealed
intent. In any nature such q position
must beget habitual suspicion; and when
the car is by nature or has become
through cruel experience, gloomy, re-
served and unsocial, the suspiciousness
must rise into a mastering passion
Add that the czar has been driven by
the Nihilists into a life of almost utter Sc
clusiOn; that he has reason to fear for his
life at every hour in the day and from the
most unlikely quarters; that he is de-
prived of intimates by his virtues as well
as by the dread he inspires, and that he
has no children old enough to share his
thoughts. and we may imagine To what
heights suspiciousness may rise in him
and how near to the sources Of fury every
thought may lie.-The Spectator.
